The Japanese economy is recovering steadily, and the machine tool industry is also doing well. Our business is also doing so well that we have an 8 month order backlog and have to increase our production capacity.
The first addition we made was the headquarters plant, which started operations in January 2006. With this addition, assembly space was secured, and a large crane was installed, thus improving product assembly efficiency. Due to the extension of the precision processing room and the moving of the unit assembly room, new equipment was also introduced. Of particular note was that the production capacity of the main axis units doubled.
We are planning further investment in production facilities as well as promoting measures to increase sales by expanding production capacity.
